Western Digital divides their internal hard drives into three
distinct families - the WD Caviar Blue for their basic hard drives,
the WD Caviar Green for their quieter, cooler hard drives and the WD
Caviar Black for their performance-grade hard drives.
According to Western Digital, Caviar Green hard disk drives offer an
average power saving of 4-5 watts over their competitors, a feat that
they claim is equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by 13.8 kg per
year. Of course, that’s a mere drop in the ocean but if you can help
save the environment while you work or play on your computer, why
not?
Today, we will look at the improved Western Digital Caviar Green 3 TB
hard disk drive - the new Western Digital WD30EZRX with Advanced
Format Technology and 6 Gbps interface. Let’s find out how well this
drive performs!
